Super Mario World

• Instruction booklet description:
  • English:
    The same old Koopas are back again. Everything seems bleak when these characters appear! If you jump on a Koopa in this game, it pops out of its shell. And what's worse is that an unshelled Koopa will eventually find its empty shell and climb back in to start all over again. BEWARE! If a Koopa climbs into a yellow shell, he'll become invincible!
  • Other languages:
    • Japanese:
      毎度おなじみのノコノコカメさん。敵ながらこいつの姿を見つけると、なぜかほのぼのとした雰囲気になってしまうのは、なぜなんだろう。今回のノコノコは上から踏みつけると、中から飛び出してしまラんだ。飛び出した中身は、しばらくすると空いている甲らを見つけて、中に入って復活するぞ。もし黄色の甲らに入ってしまったら、無敵のノコノコになってしまうので要注意だ。甲らの色は全部で4種類あって、とってもカラフル。
      (Translation: The ever-familiar Koopa Troopa turtle. Why is it that when I see him, even though he is an enemy, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling? This time, when you step on the Koopa Troopa from above, it pops out of its shell. After a while, the popped-out body will find an empty shell and come up again inside it. If it enters a yellow shell, it becomes invincible, so be careful. There are four different colors to choose from, making for a very colorful experience.)
    • Dutch:
      Dezelfde goede, oude Koopa's zijn weer terug. Iedereen verbleekt als deze figuren verschijnen. Als je in dit spel op een Koopa springt, floept hij uit zijn schild. Vervelender is dat een Koopa zonder schild tenslotte toch zijn lege schild vindt en dan opnieuw begint. LET OP: Als een Koopa in een geel schild kruipt is hij onoverwinnelijk.^:53
      (Translation: The same good old Koopas are back again. Everyone turns pale when these characters appear. If you jump on a Koopa in this game, it pops out of its shell. Worse yet is that a Koopa without shell eventually finds its empty shell anyway and starts anew. WATCH OUT: If a Koopa crawls into a yellow shell, it is invincible.)
    • French:
      Les mêmes vieux Koopa sont de retour. Tout paraît triste lorsque ces personnages apparaissent. Si vous sautez sur un Koopa durant ce jeu, il sort de sa carapace pour vous échapper... Pire encore, ce Koopa sans protection peut retrouver sa carapace vide et revenir pour recommencer le combat ! ATTENTION : Si un Koopa se glisse dans une carapace jaune, il devient invincible.^:23
      (Translation: The same old Koopas are back again. Everything seems bleak when these characters appear. If you jump on a Koopa in this game, it pops out of its shell to escape... Even worse, this Unshelled Koopa can find its empty shell and climb back in to start again the fight. If a Koopa climbs into a yellow shell, he'll become invincible.)
